Anmälan görs...                             An interesting observation from NOTE’s Lind-Widestam in the webcast. They are apparently not currently looking for acquisitions in Germany, because the weak situation in the automotive sector has led to several contract manufacturers trying to find customers from other segments. This, in turn, intensifies competition, which then drives down prices and profitability. I’m noting this comment here, but this is a phenomenon I have highlighted as happening in Finland, for example, in the IT services sector. When competition intensifies, companies start acquiring more sales by lowering prices → everyone’

I listened to NOTE’s Q3 results while out for a run over the weekend. Quite a lot has happened at NOTE over the past few months. Guidance has been revised a couple of times, the CEO has sold shares, there has been investment in a new Swedish factory, and I think there was a release about share buybacks (maybe routine; I haven’t checked whether they have actually bought any or not). In light of that, the earnings call was quite calm. Johannes felt that the situation, demand, and potential are better than what the Q3 report was able to convey in terms of numbers. He remained convinced that growth will eventually come and that there is demand for their partnership. Customers have not canceled deals; they have only delayed orders. (At this point, I have to note that regardless of the industry or company, everyone seems to be expecting that growth in the coming years will just fall from the sky when the time is right. I understand that falling interest rates etc. support demand, but there has been quite a lot of this “growth will come in due time” talk in Q3 calls.) Johannes was downright proud of the profitability. And why wouldn’t he be, when they can achieve a respectable EBIT margin of over 8 percent on declining revenue. It’s not an Incap-level figure, but it deserves a small pat on the back.  All segments are leaking:  In the big picture, the direction is right, but 2024 will be a transition year, and 2025 will be a struggle to reach 2023 levels.  If we stay roughly within the 2024 guidance, EV/EBIT will likely hover somewhere between 10–13, and P/E around 13–16. On top of that, if 2025 brings about ten percent more revenue with profitability (EBIT) at 10%, then 2025e EV/EBIT drops below ten and P/E is just over ten. In the Q&A section, someone asked why they even provide guidance when their forecasts can’t seem to hit the mark. Johannes was convinced that guidance can still provide added value to owners and investors, but if the misses continue, they may consider stopping guidance altogether. In summary: NOTE is clearly going through a more difficult period. A new growth phase and recovering profitability are expected in 2025. The potential is there. However, I expect that even if the bottom has been reached, the turn back to growth may be slower and bumpier than we might currently want to believe. In the long run, I still see NOTE as one of the winners in the EMS industry, and it will likely gradually grow into one of Europe’s leading EMS houses (if it cannot already be cautiously considered as such).

This was already in the Incap thread; of course, this tweet thread was mostly about them, but there’s also information on other companies in the industry here. @Elias_L has done a great job!  https://x.com/EliasLuhtaniemi/status/1849726314670063666        Rest of the tweet thread, but easier to read on X

@Isa_Hudd interviewed NOTE’s CEO in Swedish. If you don’t know Swedish, you can get some help from YouTube’s auto-translations (though they aren’t that good :D), but even those who don’t speak Swedish can get something out of it.  Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO of NOTE, doesn’t dodge any questions as he summarizes the company’s third quarter. Everything from negative sales growth to profit warnings and personal share sales is put through the wringer!
